Hey guys! This week was busy!
On Tuesday, we were on exchanges. Sister Hansen was with me in my area. It went pretty good! We had some awesome lessons and worked hard. We switched back and went to dinner, then to another lesson!
On Wednesday, we got up at 5 to drive over to Medford for a meeting at 8. We then had zone conference with Elder Gary B Sabin from 9-4:30. They fed us lunch in between. It was so cool to hear from Elder Sabin! He had so many good stories and it was so cool! We all went to chickfila afterwards. We ran over to Trader Joes and I got some good things. We sat at a park in Medford for an hour because the sisters we were staying with weren't home. That night was so fun! There were 6 sisters staying in this tiny apartment and it was actually a blast! We stayed up a little latter than we should have but it was good.
The next morning, we had to be at our leadership meeting at 7:45. 6 sisters getting ready at the same time with only one bathroom wasnt nearly as bad as I thought it would be. We had another 3 hour meeting with Elder Sabin. My biggest takeaway from Elder Sabin is to have faith and to expect miracles. There is so much we can to with faith! We drove back to Klamath Falls. Elder and Sister Barker, a senior couple in charge of housing, came by and put a window AC unit in. So nice!
Friday was busy! We had a lesson every hour staring at 12. It was awesome to just keep doing lesson after lesson. We had a member dinner, then a meeting with the zone leadership.
Saturday was decent. Sister Linares wasn't feeling good so we had a slower day. We did some weekly planning. We had lunch with the sisters and the zls. It was fun! We had 2 lessons to finish off the day.
Sunday was good! I played organ in sacrament meeting. Everyone in the ward always asks who taught me how to play the organ. I'm super grateful for my piano teacher! The skills I was taught have blessed so many others! We went over to our bishops house to return something. The Bishop's wife invited us in. She got us each a sparkling water and we sat outside and talked for like 45 minutes. It was not the most productive but it was fun! We went over for dinner with some awesome members. They made this whole greek meal and it was so good!
Today we are going to a memorial parade, then doing a service, then having a couple hours of pday. We get to go to the temple on Thursday so that'll be my full pday. I'm super excited to go to the temple!
A super cool thing I have experienced is seeing the efforts of our ward to share the gospel. A neighbor of one of our newly baptized member noticed how much happier the member was, she started asking questions. The member was so excited to talk about her baptism and how happy following Christ has made her. Her neighbor is now being taught by us!!
Keep up your efforts to share the gospel! People can see the joy and happiness the gospel of Jesus Christ can bring to our lives! I hope you all have a fantastic week!
Love,
Sister O'Barr
